One bite wonders! I made the truffles ahead of time and then placed 3 truffles in a cellophane bag and then tied it off with a festive Christmas ribbon. I handed these out to my co-workers during the Christmas holidays. My family loves these scrumptious delights. My daughter recently taught her 7 year bonus son and his 10 year cousin to make these simple elegant dessert. The boys loved the fact they could eat the dough!

How do you make no-bake cookie dough even better? Dip it in some melted chocolate! Tambi is right, these are one-bite wonders. These are easy to make and would make great holiday gifts. Everyone is going to love these cookie dough truffles.

How To Make chocolate chip cookie dough truffles

1
In a medium size bowl add the dry ingredients (flour, salt and baking soda). Stir gently together. Set aside.

2
Beat butter and sugars in a large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add milk and vanilla.
3
Set mixer on low speed and slowly add the dry ingredients. Mix until incorporated.
4
Stir in (by hand) the mini semi-sweet morsels into the cookie dough.
5
Prepare a baking sheet lined with wax paper. Roll cookie dough into 1 inch balls. Place on baking sheet, allowing cookies to gently touch each other.
6
Place the baking sheets in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
7
While dough is chilling; melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a double boiler. Add the shortening (this will aid in thinning the chocolate). Stir until completely smooth.
8
Prepare an additional baking sheet lined with wax paper. Use toothpicks as a tool to dip and coat the cookie dough balls into the melted chocolate. Place the chocolate truffle on the waxed paper-lined baking sheets. Chill until set. Store in an airtight container for up to one week.
